What do we know about Valdez?

Their stock trades for 15 cents! Although their press release goes on to claim they are looking forward to focusing on their remaining projects in Alaska, Valdez's website is solely focused on Mexico, including a haha Spanglish moment where you open the website and are greeted with the phrase "Bienvenida a Valdez Gold." They go on to write:

Valdez Gold Inc. is an international natural resource Company based in Toronto, Canada specializing in mineral exploration. The Company is exploring for precious and base metals with ongoing projects in locations in the prolific mineral rich Sierra Madre gold belt in the state of Chihuahua, Northern Mexico. The company has embarked on an aggressive exploration programme on its current concessions and will be actively seeking other opportunities within Mexico. Mexico provides investors with political stability, investor friendly exploration, mining regulatory structures and a good infrastructure.

Obviously Valdez bet the farm on Mexico and lost, or else why would they sell the company's primary mine for a measly $2.5M? Gammon is buying a property that has already been explored and that Valdez must know is nearly worthless. Yet in a few months, you will be told that this area has great opportunity, and the promise of this worthless land will be touted in press releases for years to come until Gammon goes bankrupt!
